Free Google Cloud shell
Discovered that Google gives anyone with Gmail account a FREE Cloud Shell with Debian 7 VM/5Gb

It's included in free tier last forever.
very good!
Ohhh, I didn't know.
Mine is Debian 9.3.
Can I host a website in this?
In case someone wondering, no you can't host anything to the public, internal testing is okay.
It will launch a g1-small (0.5 vCPU, 1.7GB RAM), comes with 5GB persistent storage
Boost mode allowed up to n1-standard-1 (1 vCPU, 3.75GB RAM)
I would say it is great for small project testing, it comes with Google Cloud SDK and binaries of Java, Go, Python, Node.js, PHP, Ruby and .NET

The entire 3rd world is busy trying to figure out how to MINING on these despite restrictions
Thanks Google! just made 3 sneaker purchases
possible to install vestacp on it , and acces it public?
I am chargeback @cociu if my Windows do not boot on this fscking thing how many times I have to tell this is not supported for this plan without sister!
if you have more than one you can share it!
Instructions unclear - Sister stuck in Google Windows. Rebooting YETI again.
Google Shell? No.
You can on their Compute Platform after dinking around with the storage I think (although it's something like 0.4 cpu / 256mb memory - free f1-micro forever IIRC)
No - cPanel only.
Next thing you'll say these can't run Windows.
IIRC no or very small bandwidth allocation. Gets pretty expensive really easy.

Already got my popcorn ready & waiting for the first "Google charged me $xxx for bandwidth"
I don't get what's up with Google's bandwidth pricing. At 0.12$ per GB, it's pretty brutal. Even AWS is cheaper, costing "just" 0.09$ per GB.
"premium"
@FAT32 I am able to host my website on this, why can't you host anything to public?
Javascript XMR miner works fine, 30H/sec, premium.
How? I am sure there will be bandwidth cost and stuff like this (Web preview only available for your own account)
Well depends on how you game it. It lasts 30 minutes at most, unless you set up background processes to continue running to avoid the idling reset.
Wow, thanks. Mind=blown
just for the record.

Just asking, can you run a VPN there?
Being that it's in a controlled docker instance with general ports blocked and no way to forward: Sure you can run OpenVPN if you want; you just won't be able to connect to it.

Mhm. I'll be kind and tell you now not to do it.
VPN, not sure, but SSH tunnel is still possible
